Lawyer Sees One of Its Perpe.
traitors Years After Darky
Tnrr,S


Turns Pale.
harrisburg Telegraph.
''SOme years ago." said an old attorney.
as he tilted back his chair and put his feet
on the table to rest himself. there was
murder trial in Harrisburg, and [ was as
signed with another attorney to defend the
men on trial. They had killed an old
farner-a most unprovoked and cruel MUIR
der, from which they reaped no plumber
and while we defended them to the best of
ability, the evidence was against US; they
were convicted and sentenced to be hanged.
Just before the execution one of the con-
demned men confessed the murder to me,
and told me that while he was one of the
active participants, yet the awful
job had been put up by his
condemned partner and man
who was at large in the streets of Harris
burg. He told how the fellow who was
not arrested had planned the murder, ar
ranged all the preliminaries and then sent
him and his companion to do the crime.
Furthermore, he told me that this same
man, who got off the train late at night
into wagon Oh pretenSe of taking him to
the place he was seeking, and, instead of
doing so, took him across the canal bridge
at Market street, knocked him in the head,
robbed him and then buried the body in
Cameron's woods near the poor house. He
gave the exact location of the burial, and
party of men made search, but could find
no buried body.
while l believe the man was telling the
truth. yet think he was mistaken as to the
location of the burial. The men were
hanged, and in time forgotten. One day
stood on the back porch of my resi-
dence, when the rear gate to the yard
opened. and there stepped in the man
who had planned the murder for which my
client was executed. He did not see me,
and he slouched up through the yard, look
ing furtively right and left, but not ahead.
AS he neared the porch he looked UP, and
his eyes met mine. He halted as if
paralyzed, and if ever colored man turned
white that man did. He grew ashy pale,
his limbs trembled, he did not say word.
He turned face to the gate, hobbled slowly
down the yard. went out and closed the
gate. and the scene ended. l hadn't said
word to him.
''Why did he do so? The wretch knew
that the man who was hanged had told me
all about the murder, and my unexpected
appearance had made him completely ter
ror-stricken. Yes. the man is still living.
Let him live. There is hereafter. Have
a light-your cigar has gone out"
There are more things, etc., Horatio, etc.

COMMITTEES AT WORK.
Water-works AppOintments--A City
Hall Revolution.

Yesterday was busy day for the coun-
Gil committees The water works commit
tee wrestled all the afternoon with a
lengthy set of rules fer the government of
the department. The creation of the office
of supervisor of the water-works" was de-
cided upon, the office to correspond sub
stantally with that of the present superin-
tendent, with the exception that the collec
ton of water rentals, and the keeping of
accounts, is to be performed by the water
registrar. who is to give bonds in $50. 600
for the performance of his duties. The
committee is to have entire management of
the department and will make all appoint
ments, the city engineer to have charge of
all contracts. The contract for furnishing
three cars of pig lead was let to the North
western Lead Pipe company, of St. Paul,
at $3.50 per hundred pounds. The
committee adjourned to Monday when,
if its report is adopted by the council, the
appointments of supervisor, registrar, in
spectors, etc., will probably be made. The
committee on public grounds and building
set aside the room formerly used by the
water board for the use of the police COM
missioners, and changed the health officer
and city physician to the fourth floor so as
to give the city engineer more room. 1t
assessor and the engineer of the water
works shall exchange rooms so rs to give
the various departments under charge of
the city engineer places on the second floor.
A fire proof vault for the city clerk was also
ordered.
The aldermen of the Fourth ward met
and received statements concerning neces-
sary street improvements, but decided to
make personal inspection before deciding
upon recommendations. The aldermen
agreed to recommend the extension of Sec
ond avenue north, from the Cedar Lake
road to the city limits.
The committee on ordinances decided to
recommend all ordinance establishing
boulevard on Chicago avenue. The ordi-
nance requiring manufacturing establish
mentS to use smoke consumers was taken
up and passed.
The committees on salaries, license and
railroads adjourned without action to
Thursday afternoon next week.

FOoTLBGHT FANCIES,

The usual minstrel audience was at the
Grand last evening. Usual, in this case,
means crowd that packed the building
from orchestra rail to foyer with row of
heads at every parquette opening. Prim-
rose, Thatcher q West have assembled as
good a collection of minstrel talent as is not
often seen, and the special features are far
above the ordinary. In the line of vocal
and instrumental music, dancing and fun,
the entire show is hard to beat. The jokes
are nearly all new and good, and question:
able gags are unheard of.

Manager Sayre, of the Thatcher, Prim-
rose & West Minstrel company, has heard

Just before last Christmas there was con-
siderable excitement in the Grand one
evening. 1t was the night of the Elliot
diamond robbery. Really singular it was
how quickly and quietly the news of that
daring break spread through the house.
Something Similar occurred last night up
there. Mr.. Marshall was in the house and
word came that burglars were in his jewelry
store. He quickly vacated his seat. and in
two minutes the word was spread over the
house. TWAS false alarm, but Mr.. Mar
shall appreciates the burglar alarm
on his door. It appears that an
alarm was sent in by the automatic
contrivance and a police officer hurried to
the scene. Finding the door open. Mr..
Marshall was summoned, but no burglar
was found. The door was open about an
inch, but that was enough for the burglar
alarm, which gave its noiseless warning.

gram to the BEE. "A personal encounter is
looked for between Major j. w. Greene,

and James Barrett, editor of the Globe and

Davis, conductor on the Georgia road, was
indicted on the charge of criminal assault on
a lady committed to his care. Pending lti-
CATION Greene suspended him. Davis was
acquitted, but Greene refused to restore him
to his place. The Globe and Lance, which
paper is owned by Davis, on Saturday last
made furious personal attack on Greene.
The major, ignoring Davis, sought James
Barrett, the editor. Barrett denied response
bility and then Greene called upon him
under the code. Barrett refused any hint of
a challenge, merely remarking that he was
ready to defend himself whenever attacked.
Greene then branded Barrett rs a coward.
To this Barrett replies to-day rs follows:
